Data DVD wont burn - error message

Dear Macsters,
Everytime I try to burn a data dvd, i immediately get this message:
BURN
sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred (Error code 0x8002006D).
It only does this when i set the burn at 1x. At 2x it burns.
I have osx 10.4.8, early g4 17" laptop, superdrive (dvd-r only).
Is this a burner problem or a software problem??
Daniel

Manually setting the burn speed on some applications can be problematic.
If it burns at 2X then my guess is thats what you need to do. Burn at 2X.

Oh one other thing, older burners are very picky about media.
I suggest you use the very best media, rather than bargin basement cheap media.

Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality final product:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Burn error message 261

I too am getting burn error message when I try to burn my playlists to CD since I downloaded iTunes 5.0. I am burning a MP3 CD and there are only 640 MB to be burned to a 700MB CD. I have gone through all of the iTunes suggested solutions. I have contacted Dell (my OEM) and the manufacturer of my CD-R/RW drive (Samsung). I upgraded the latest firmware for my computer and CD Drive. I still get the same message...burn failed for unknown reason...error message 261. It works in Windows Media. What gives? Is there a fix? Seemingly, quite a few other customers are having the same problem. HELP!Apple is there a fix on the way?
Here are my diagnostic results:

If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

Hello Armando,
I'm not too sure if I could help you since you're running a Windows machine but if you want some reliable answers, could you re-post your question in the iTunes for Windows forum? I'm sure the people on that forum would help you better. Sorry about that.
Just FYI, you posted this thread on the iTunes for Mac forum.

I solved my own problem. Hopefully this will help someone else.
I did a DFU restore, then started it up as a new phone on iTunes. Everything loaded properly, then from iTunes did a restore from backup, selected the one I wanted and it still took me to the same screen with 3 options of restore. I chose the start up as new phone from the actual phone and after all the syncing was completed, my phone is back in working order.

Dvd wont burn movie all the way

The dvd is 4.7 GB and the movie is 4.1 the dvd wont burn the whole movie it stops a little before the movie is over. HOw do we burn a long movie onto dvd?

What is the total playing time of your movie? iDVD 5 has a 120 minute limit, including menus, in the Best Quality setting or a 60 minute limit in the Best Performance setting. The size of the files is not the determining factor, just the playing time.

I phone wont charge error message

My i phone 4 wont charge-error message -chrging is not supported with this device
but i am using an applle charger

Two biggest causes of this are crud/lint in your dock connector, causing a short, thus producing that error message. So, use canned air & a soft toothbrush to clean your dock connector. Also, look for any bent pins. If that doesn't fix things, try a different USB cable.

Date format in log/error messages

Hi there,
Is there a way to change the date format in log/error messages in ttmesg.log & tterror.log files ?
In my log files, only the hour is specified but I wish I could get the day each single line has been logged.
Thanks in advance.
PS : I'm running TimesTen release 7.0.3 on a RedHat ES release 4

Yes, you just need to add the option -showdate into the ttendaemon.options file.

DVD burn error message

I get this error message when I try to burn a data DVD: "Burning the disk failed because communication to the disk drive failed. (error code 0 x 80020022)
I am attempting to use the original drive system (Pioneer DVD-RW DVR 104) and it plays CD's and DVD's without a problem. Thoughts? Jim

just had this problem with a 17" MacPro purchased in Jan 09. Toast Titanium 9 had no problems burning the CD. tried it again in Finder but backed the burn speed down from 24x to 8x - no problem.
I can only assume it is cheap media causing the problem - we have no problems with Maxell CDs at full burn speed (24x). The CDs causing the problems are Verbatims (rated at 1-52x) that have printable surfaces.
hope this helps

Tried burning photos to DVD from iphoto - error message

Burned several hundred photos without any issues, but now have tried unsuccessfully to do the last 300 photos - each time I enter a disc and hit burn, I get an error message: "The burn to the MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-898 drive failed. The disc drive didn’t respond properly and can’t recover or retry". Tried burning them in smaller groups of albums and having no luck. Also tried rebooting.
Using iPhoto 8.1.2.
Any suggestions?

I ran into this exact issue, trying to archive some iPhone videos from my iPhoto Library. Even though iPhoto tells you how much space you have left on the disc, it must not count any additional data it has to burn onto that disc. I finally got my disc to burn by removing videos, freeing up around 500 MB from the DVD.
This is very frustrating behavior not only because the error message says nothing about disc space, but also because iPhoto gives you a user interface for keeping an eye on how much space is left on your disc but it doesn't tell you the whole story.

ITunes burns incomplete data DVDs (without reporting error)

I have a playlist with 908 songs (3,63 GB) I want to copy over to a data DVD. When iTunes finishes burning the data DVD+R, I get only 272 files (1,09GB). iTunes does not report any error at all: it finishes burning without a problem and generates an .XML file listing only the files it did copy to the DVD.
Has anyone seen this? Any explanation or solution? I am using the latest version of iTunes (6.0.1) and, apart from this, do not experience any problem with the DVD recorder.
Thank you.

When I open iTunes7 I receive an error message stating that drivers are missing; iTunes7 cannot import or burn CDs or DVDs without them.
was this your precise message?
"Warning! The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs & DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
if so, see:
iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting CD issues caused by device filters
if you're getting a somewhat different message, would you mind telling us precisely what it says? (it's best if we aren't "guessing" what your problem might be.)
sometimes it's easiest to send us a screenshot of the error message box. for instructions, see this user tip:

G5 DVD burner error message? Help please?

I get this error message when I try burning a 1gb quicktime movie to dvd on my pre installed standard burner. Thanks in advance
the link below is a screenshot of the error
http://www.darkstargraphics.com/dvd_message.gif
Im at a loss and ready to by another
below is the dvd burner profile
PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-106D:
Firmware Revision: A606
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported)
Cache: 2000 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
DVD-Write: -R, -RW, +R, +RW
Burn Underrun Protection CD: Yes
Burn Underrun Protection DVD: Yes
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO
Media: No

The error "internal target failure" appears on PCs using this drive as well, so it appears that it's not a Toast specific error.
However, in my browsing, no one seemed to be able to tell if it was a true hardware failure of the drive, or if it was caused by poor quality media.
I'd try other brands of media and a lens cleaner before flashing the firmware. And, if you do decide to flash the firmware, the current, official firmware for that drive is here. The link in MLCinma's post contains hacked (region free) firmware and is outdated in any event.
Let us know what brand of media you're using and what speed you're burning at.
The DVR-106D has had lots of reports of failures, so it could very well be the drive. At least a replacement DVR-111D will only cost you about $40 - $50.

Dvd burner error message "device failed to calibrate laser power"

When I try to burn a dvd, I get an error message:
The disc can’t be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.
and then it spits out the disk. This has never happened before.
Advice?

If Wjosten's suggestion does not work, clean the dvds - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=50448 or use another dvd brand - Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden are highly recommended by Mac users.

Burning to DVD, now getting error message. What do i do?ng t

I use Verbatim DVDs as I've always done to burn my DVD's. I think a few weeks ago I may have turned off the "verify" discs after burning option thought I can't seem to find how I did it or how to turn it back on.
I'm not sure if my current problem is related to this but I am receiving this error message after burning most DVDs:
"This disc could not be verified and might be unreliable. Try again using a new, blank disc. (error code 0x80020063."
When I go into the DVDs, all of the files are there (typically video clips I am burning) but some of them will not let me fast forward or jump ahead when watching the videos (which I need to do). I must sit and watch the entire video clip. If I try to fast forward or jump forward, the video clock will run but the video stays where it was. It's quite frustrating.
One more thing, I have tried burning at 1x (a slower speed) and no difference.
Is there a setting I need to turn back on to verify these discs? Any other suggestions?
Thanks.

I just dropped into the forums to see if other people were getting the DVD burning verification error (Error code 0x80020063). I've been holding off on the Tiger to Leopard upgrade until very recently. All of my must-have apps were anecdotally stable and I was under the impression that 10.5 was too. Apparently reliable DVD burning is Tiger only, at least on my systems.
We've been burning Taiyo Yuden DVD's almost daily with Tiger with incredibly low failure rates. After what seemed to be a smooth upgrade of a Mac Pro tower & 2 MacBook Pro laptops (one is a Core Duo and the other is a Core 2 Duo) I've spent the entire afternoon troubleshooting until I ended up here. Some searching on the board leads me to conclude that this will be a bigger headache than I imagined.
I've done all the obvious stuff (varied the burn speed, moved the files to a different drive, reset PRAM & SMC, used a different account, deleted finder.plist, tried repairing the system with DU on the Leopard install disc and then I tried burning on different computers with different media). What I'm finding is that over 50% of my DVD's are throwing the error code during verification across 3 different models all running Leopard 10.5.2. CD burning seems to work as before (but we don't use this as much so ?). I saw that some people had posted that closing the finder window helped, but that didn't improve my overall failure rate. The DVD's appear (indentical byte size and item numbers) to be burned correctly and usable, but I need to be sure so I can't trust them.
We need reliable DVD burning for our business and this is a real problem. I was going to trudge over to the Apple store, but it doesn't sound like there's a real fix yet.
